To Link to a TimeLiner Schedule for Time-Based Soft Clashing

To link to a TimeLiner schedule for time-based soft clashing

  1. In Autodesk Navisworks open the project model file, which contains the animated TimeLiner schedule.
  2. If the TimeLiner window is not already open, click Home tab Tools panel TimeLiner.
  3. Click the Tasks tab, and check the static package tasks are displayed, and at least one animation scene has been linked to one of the TimeLiner tasks.
  4. Click the Configure tab, and check the task types have been added to match the static packages.
  5. Click the Simulation tab, and play the simulation. Check the static and dynamic packages are shown in the correct location and over the correct periods of time.
  6. If the Clash Detective window is not already open, click Home tab Tools panel Clash Detective.
  7. Click the Select tab.
  8. In the Selection A and Selection B panes, select the objects you want to test.
  9. In the Link drop-down box, select TimeLiner.
  10. In the Step box, enter the Interval Size to use when looking for clashes in animation scenes.
  11. Click the Run Test button. Clash Detective will check at each interval in the project to see if there are any clashes present. The number of found clashes is displayed at the top of the Clash Detective window.
    Note: If the TimeLiner project is large in size, running this type of clash test will invariably take more time to complete than a normal clash run.

    You can now review the found clashes.
